Bargain Shopping a Brain Booster?

Monday, June 1st, 2009

Good morning, shoppers! Here’s hoping you all had a fantastic weekend and have been enjoying all the sunshine as much as I have! As far as other things that make you happy, well, I’d bet that the shopping news I bring your way today (thanks to Warren for the tip) should do the trick!

After all, frugal fashionistas, soon you may finally win the argument when it comes to explaining your shopping habit!

How? You can say that by bargain shopping, you’re just following doctors’ orders!

You see, according to a prosinthecity.com event release, Dr. Guy McKhann, a Johns Hopkins neurologist, and his wife, Marilyn Albert, Ph.D., advise that bargain shopping gives us much of what we need to stay in shape, both mentally and physically. We get physical exercise, burning about 15o calories per hour, as we walk from store to store, lift clothes, try them on, carry heavy bags, etc.  We also exercise our minds as we learn about new places and determine what really makes a smart buy.  (Now, that’s what I’m talking about!)

Of course, just referring to a press release probably won’t do the trick. That’s why you should consider taking the prosinthecity.com Thrift Shopping Tour With a Fashion Expert! Yes, a smart shopping tour of NoVA (Arlington, Alexandria & Falls Church only) guided by a pro who will give you the personal attention your mind, body and wallet deserve. Each tour is limited to just six people!

For only $45, not only will you gain improved bargain hunting abilities but you’ll also receive a handy dandy itinerary of the shops you visit on the tour (perfect for sharing your knowledge later), a 15 percent discount on an in-home fashion consult, healthy snacks and more.

So, mark your calendar now, ladies:  Sat., June 27 from 10:15 a.m. to 3 p.m.

Meet-up spot: Starbuck’s, 2690 Clarendon Blvd., Arlington, VA 22201

And, order a ticket today before the event sells out; you may do so by calling 202-686-5990 or by ordering online.
